01 Oct Eddie’s Restaurant To Host October Networking & NCCC New Beginnings Event
Eddie’s Restaurant will host the October Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) After Business Mixer and Networking Event on Thursday, October 17th, 2019 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM. This event will also be a “New Beginnings” event giving Chamber Members, businesses, organizations, and our new young professionals network a chance to meet the new North Country Community College (NCCC) President Joe Keegan. Eddie’s Restaurant is located at 68 NYS Route 9N in Ticonderoga, NY. Sponsors providing door prizes are Best Western Plus, Bridge Point Communication, Lake George Lettering, Stoney Lonesome B&B, and the Wagon Wheel Restaurant. NCCC is asking for RSVP’s by emailing cknight@nccc.edu.
The Chamber’s “After Business Mixers” provide a networking forum for Chamber Members and area business people in addition to showcasing the site of the host as well as promoting the door prize sponsors. Networking is a key component of Chamber membership and marketing your business. Chamber members, area businesses, and organizations are invited to attend and are encouraged to take advantage of this and all networking opportunities. Join the Chamber to reconnect with area businesses and organizations, meet new people, and take advantage of the opportunity to hear from the hosts. In addition, use this opportunity to share information with the Chamber and get to know all of our local businesses and organizations.
In coordination with the networking event the Chamber and NCCC invite you to join them as they introduce the new NCCC President. This will be an opportunity for the Ticonderoga area business community to meet the college’s new president, Joe Keegan, who was appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees earlier this year. A former NCCC student, Keegan started his professional career at the college as an adjunct instructor in 1994. He went on to become an associate professor, coordinator of the college’s Human Services programs and served as the Vice President for Academic Affairs from 2014 until his appointment as President. In announcing his appointment, SUNY Chancellor Kristina Johnson cited Keegan’s educational background and deep commitment to the North Country as factors that make him “an ideal choice to serve the mission and vision” of the college.
“Many thanks to Matt Courtright and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce for hosting this event. Over the years, Matt and his team have been excellent partners with and champions for North Country Community College and I am grateful for their creating this opportunity to meet you all. I know that many of us have been positively impacted by having the College in our community, whether it is part of our own journey in higher education or we had family or friends who attended and earned their degree with us. Regardless, I look forward to meet and hear from you how the College can continue to be an essential part of the vibrant community that is the Ticonderoga area. I hope to see you on October 17th,” stated Joe Keegan – NCCC President.

3 Myths about After Business Mixers BUSTED!
Myth: I don’t have time to go to After Business Mixers.
Busted: You don’t have to be there from 5:30 – 7:00. Stop by for 15 or 20 minutes and make some great new contacts.
Myth: It’s awkward…I won’t know anybody there.
Busted: Ask for a Chamber Ambassador or Board Member when you arrive. These outgoing volunteers will introduce you to the crowd and then you will know lots of people. You can also connect with an Ambassador, Board Member, or TACC Staff Member ahead of time.
Myth: I don’t need to go – I’m on social media.
Busted: There is no substitute for face-to-face networking. People do business with people they know…so come to After Hours and get to know more people. No excuses – we’ll see you at the next After Business Mixer/Networking Opportunity!
